With Friday’s snow I knew that I wanted to get out somewhere this weekend. I didn’t see any paddling trips, so a Papa Joe hike it would be. This weekend’s hike was at Noanet Woods.
I had done this trip several times before, and it is a nice hike. In 1923, Amelia Peabody purchased Powissett Farm in Dover, and over the next six decades acquired hundreds of acres of nearby open space, including the Noanet Woodlands. I remember going to Powissett Farm as a kid to buy pigs. Now Powissett Farm is also Trustees of Reservations property.

Noanet Woods has 17 miles of trails adjacent to the Hale Reservation. On this trip we stayed in Noanet Woods and hiked in a clockwise direction on the Peabody and Noanet Peak Trails to Noanet Peak (with its view of the Boston skyline) and the Iron Mill Dam before heading back to the cars – about 3.3 miles.
It was 16-degrees when we headed out at 8:30, and 26-degrees when we got back to the cars at 11:00, but it never felt cold. I love the view of Boston from Noanet Peak.
